Huge Crowd At Resler Wing Dedication
By Bob1 Tenenbaum Chronicle Special Reporter
An overflow crowd of several hundred jammed Heritage House Sunday for formal dedication ceremonies of the new Eleanor and ■ Jack Resler Wing — a ceremony that doubled as a 50th wedding anniversary celebration for the Resler's, whose gift made completion of the addition possible. .
U.S. Sen. John H. Glenn, Jr., D-Ohio, led a delegation of government and com¬ munity leaders in paying tribute to the Resler's and in praising Heritage House as a leader in the field of nursing home care for the elderly.
Glenn, in brief remarks, said that a "spirit of shared concern has built this nation" and said .Heritage House "is exemplary of that concern." j
The Resler VYing houses 50 residents and served to double the capacity of Heritage House while greatly expanding its facilities for recreation, physical therapy and oc¬ cupational therapy.
A gift of $1 million from Mr. and Mrs. Resler was added to existing expansion. funds, money from foun¬ dations and funds con¬ tributed by the community to finance construction of the wing.
Mr, and Mrs. Resler were presented with a plaque bearing a golden key. J. Maynard Kaplan, Incoming, president of the Heritage House 'boarcC said the key "symbolizes the affection and esteem of this com¬ munity." ' ':
In her response,'-. Mrs, Resler said, "Anything I have done, I did because I love doing it." She said that she had seen the need for the addition, "but when it was time to say, 'We're going to
do it,'Jack did it."
Resler responded by presenting to Heritage
House a portrait of his wife, who he said "earned the title Firsti Lady of Heritage House long before we ever dreamed of the new wing."
Mrs. Resler served three terms as president of the Heritage House board and also served as president of the Heritage House Auxiliary. Her Friday visits to the residents of the home are legendary.
In his invocation^JRabbi David Stavsky, spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Jacob, said the Resler's "have expanded the heart
that is the home of Heritage House."
Sol Morton Isaac, chair-, man of the dedication ceremonies, pointed to recent news reports of "the horrors of graft and greed in nursing homes."
"These reports make us ask, 'Where are those qualities of goodness and decency we all revere?' They are here, at Heritage House," Isaac said.
William" Glick, vie#! president of the Columbus Jewish Federation, called

reported in the interview in the March issue that Ghorbal described the boost in petroleum prices by the Arab oil countries as partly "a tactical weapon in- the war against Judaism." Ghorbal described as "irrevocable" the Arab decision "to put an end to Judaism, as our friends have already promised to do in the United States, in the Soviet Union, and such as Rega Lopez," the Argentinian "strong-man," had "for¬ mulated" in Argentina. Judaism, Ghorbal said, is "the bridgehead" ~of "ex¬ ploiting colonialism" which "must disappear. Today, tomorrow, it will disap¬ pear." He also warned that if the Western nations made a
military attempt to take over the Arab oil fields, the Arabs would implement a scorched earth policy. He said "just as Judaism will be exterminated, so will be destroyed all our oil in¬ stallations." Kelly asked Ghorbal whether the Arab leaders and the Arab people supported such measures. Ghorbal replied' that, the Palestine Liberation; Organization was: "the guarantee that our decisions will be fulfilled to the last soldier," including the destruction of everything "before the enemy succeeds in occupying the oil fields." (Commenting in Jerusalem on the interview, Yeddiyah Beeri, a Likud
Knesset member, urged the Israeli Foreign Ministry to reprint and distribute millions of copies of the Ghorbal interview. Beeri said wide distribution of the Ghorbal interview would be an excellent propaganda tool to justify and explain Israel's policies. Beeri said the interview would show the world that,< according to a man who is one of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's principal advisors, the Arab - Israeli conflict is not over territories but over the very existence of Israel and the Jewish people. He also suggested that the interview be discussed at a Knesset session to determine an appropriate way for Israel to react to it.)
Schlesinger Says He Would Be Inclined To Resist Withdrawal From Golan, West Bank
Glen Says U.S. Commitment To Israel Strong As Ever
By Bob Tenenbaum Chronicle Special Reporter
U.S. Sen! John H. Glenn, Jr.,D-Ohio, said Sunday the ' United States "has a moral commitment to Israel — and that commitment is as strong today as it has ever been."
Glenn, in an exclusive interview with the Chronicle, said U.S. support for Israel "is not art issue" in the recently -announced reassessment of the entire U.S. foreign relations pic¬ ture.
"Even if we did not have a moral commitment — and I emphasize' that we do — even if we did not, pragmatism would dictate U.S. support for Israel," Glenn said. -
"Israel acts pretty much as our surrogate in the Middle East — the energy center of the world." •
Glenn said he "drew the line" at suggestions U.S troops might be sent into the Middle East in the event of a new outbreak of war.
"But , Israel has never asked for our troops," Glenn said. "They want only pur continued material sup¬ port." He noted that former
Sen. John Glenn Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir had re- emphasized that point during a recent visit to the United States. Glenn i said the United

JT, WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger said here March 31 that if he were responsible for Israel's strategy he would be "inclined to resist withdrawal" of Israeli forces from the Golan Heights and the West Bank as long as the Arab nations refused to concede Israel's right to exist. Neither Schlesinger nor his interviewer mentioned the Sinai in this connection. He also indicated the Soviet Union would probably back the "more radical demands" of the Arabs againsHsrael in a Geneva " conference. , Schleslnger's comments came during a television interview in which he disclosed that the United States would make no "new commitments" on military supply for Israel pending completion of President Ford's, current review of U.S. policy towards the Middle East in general. A Pentagon spokesman
pointed out to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the review included "all "the countries" of the area now receiving U.S. military equipment. They include particularly Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iran. The State Department confirmed that no policy decision op foreign aid will be made while the reassessment is tinder way, The foreign aid program for the current U.S. fiscal year ending June 30 carries | $200 million in credit and a
$100 million grant to Israel for military purchases. Whether full aid will con¬ tinue was not immediately known but Schlesinger said that the U.S. had carried out "virtually" all of "a very, substantial shipment" of military supplies to Israel during the fall and winter period that ended April 1. For the new fiscal year beginning July 1, Israel is understood to have asked for about $2.5 billion In aid, of
